Israel's Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Eli Cohen spoke on the phone on Thursday with the Minister of Energy, Trade and Industry of the Republic of Cyprus regarding the electrical interconnection.
"I spoke with the Minister of Energy, Trade, and Industry of Cyprus, George Papanastasiou. We underscored the strong relationship and ongoing cooperation between Israel and Cyprus, and I emphasized the great importance of the 'Great Sea Interconnector' project to Israel.
